I noticed this when trying to add some random vibrato stuff with multiple detuned
oscillators using gaussian noise with independent "seed"´s. It was never thick
enough for this reason. It should really be fixed. Which is the usability of a
random opcode, no matter its length, if it always outputs the same sequence?? It
won´t work for multiple chorus, nor for algorithmic composition, nothing... just as
"noise"...
